German manufacturer Liebherr is debuting its second electric-drive large machine: crawler cranes. The company says its LR 1200.1 unplugged and LR 1250.1 unplugged models are the world’s first battery-powered crawler cranes. The electric-driven engines have a system performance of 255 kw (341 horsepower). The LR 1200.1 unplugged has a maximum lifting capacity of 200 metric tonne and the LR 1250.1 lifts 250 metric tonne. The cranes follow the company’s LB 16 electric drill rig, introduced at the Bauma trade show in 2019. As with the 265 kw (355 horsepower) electric-motor LB 16, Liebherr says a design imperative with the electric-drive cranes was that there would be no performance depreciation between them and their diesel cousins.Contact: Liebherr.
